God Bless people who dress wild and go out in public. I love seeing a woman in all pink with pink hair and pink nails, with a tiny dog in a pink outfit in her bag. Or a massively goth dude covered in piercings sporting a giant green mohawk. Cosplayers. SCA reenactors. Ren Faire people. There’s nothing I love more than a pair of handsome young men walking around in Revolutionary War outfits. Just please keep dressing wild and freaky. You bring color to life, and it never fails to put a big smile on my face.

Yes yes, I too am very sad and annoyed that Trump is not dead, I got all breathlessly excited and queued up "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" to be ready for a great announcement, and then I didn't even get to play it. It's a huge bummer.

However, step two of this huge bummer is NOT "Oh no and now his fandom will be EVEN MORE ANNOYING, we have basically already lost :((((" That is the devil speaking. Step two is to say "Ah heck, his fandom is going to be even more annoying, better FUCKING VOTE AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE I KNOW ALSO VOTES" Stop your worthless defeatism, stop your stupid pessimism, stop trying to GIVE UP AND SURRENDER just cause one weird thing happened.

GO VOTE, IDIOTS

I doubt Trump's going to get any sympathy votes because:

He's a sociopath and will remind everyone of that immediately.

MAGA Republicans are currently on Twitter blaming Democrats and trying to stoke more violence, meanwhile Democrats are offering their sympathies, and Independents will see the difference.

Getting hit by a piece of teleprompter glass kind of kills the whole "badass" image lmao

The "sympathy vote" after an assassination attempt just isn't a thing. Didn't work for Teddy Roosevelt, Gerald Ford, or George Wallace. And if Teddy Roosevelt - who actually was shot - can't win an election on it, Trump really can't.

America is so polarized that most people have basically already decided, and the ones that haven't are the ones most likely to be put off by the calls for violence and hostility.

How the Watermelon Became a Symbol of Palestinian Solidarity

When Palestinian flags are banned or censored, activists and allies use the watermelon as a symbol of resistance.

Why watermelons are a symbol of Palestinian solidarity

The watermelon now symbolizes unofficial Palestinian solidarity amid reports of online censorship and the ongoing civilian deaths in Gaza.

Can you explain something to me? Sorry this is so random but I honestly don’t trust anyone else’s answer lmao… but why is watermelon associated with the propal movement? I see people using the emoji and tagging things with it all the time as a way to be “sneaky” about it (not sneaky when everybody knows what it means…) but I don’t understand where it came from or WHY they use it, and I don’t know who else to ask bc I just don’t trust that people would give me a genuine answer.

I don’t know for sure if this is the right answer, all i know about it is that i started seeing it after a creator on tiktok made a filter/game that donated money to some charity (not sure which one) for palestine when used, and it had watermelons in it. I’m assuming it was used before that, but I haven’t seen anyone actually talking about the origins of why they use watermelons as a stand in for palestine.

this is based off a post by @absentlyabbie​  It got me through last years holidays, and i hope it helps you too.

Hold on.
